Lopchop: calm down… gosh!
Epilogue
Aaron glared at his homework. He was so worried and frustrated, he couldn't even remember what subject it was on! All he wanted, was to know if Kellie was alright…
It was his birthday, he had wished for Kellie to walk right through his dormitory door, hug him, say she had missed him, and had wanted nothing more than to return home to her friends and family.
But Aaron's wish never came true.
It was nearing 7 that evening, when there was a phone call. Obi answered, then held it out for Aaron.
"It's for you." Was all he said. Aaron jumped up, and put the receiver to his ear.
"Hello?" His mother's voice was on the other end.
"Aaron," she started. Aaron's spirit brightened.
"Well? Have they found Kellie? Is she safe? What happened to her?" There was the sound of tears being bit back on.
"Aaron, listen. The police, they gave up months ago, we've been doing our own search. She's truly gone, and never coming back." Aaron hung up the phone, and just stared at the wall. Aaron's dorm mates backed up. This room was about to have enough water to be a fish tank.
His sister, she had been gone for six months, SIX MONTHS! Last time she had only been gone for three! What had taken so long? Why hadn't come home? Why did Zuko get to live with his sister for the rest of his life? To Aaron, this, wasn't, fair.
Tears came down in waterfalls from Aaron's eyes. He fell to the ground, and started to pound on it.
Austin, Obi, and Jim all stared at their friend. They had all known him since elementary school or younger, and had never, never, seen him shed a single tear. They now realized just how much Aaron loved his little sister. Obi walked up behind Aaron, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright, Aaron." Aaron shook his head.
"It isn't! She's gone!" Obi sighed.
"Then it will be ok, if Beth disappeared, I would feel the same way… She'll come back…" But Obi stopped. He remembered Beth and Kellie playing together. All those happy, childhood memories stopped when Kellie moved on to 5th grade, and Beth was home schooled. It was all just fading away.
Aaron wearily stood up, and went to bed.
Tears streaked the college student's eyes as he tossed and turned in a restless sleep. His dreams were haunted with the memories of his little sister. From when he had first seen when she was born, through all her birthdays, to her first Mariners game, and so many other memories. The memories of them watching TV, and Aaron asking Kellie for what had happened in the latest episode of Avatar, or some other dumb anime show she watched.
Suddenly, Aaron began to have the weirdest dream he could not even fathom.
He stood in the middle a neon blue tunnel, and there were passages on either side of him. And front of Aaron, was a mysterious man in a robe.
"Welcome, Aaron." He said quietly. Aaron glared at the hooded figure.
"How do you know my name?" He hissed quietly. The Master of the Worlds chuckled.
"Me? I'm just a master. The Master of the Worlds, I was the one who permitted your little sister to enter the Avatar realm, three years ago." Aaron ran up to the Master, and grabbed his by the robe.
"You know my sister? It's your fault I lost her? It's your fault I'll never see her again?" The Master chuckled again.
"Now, that's not fair. It's true, I allowed your sister to enter, but do you doubt that I have no reason for doing so?" Aaron pondered it.
"No, I believe you have a reason." The Master nodded.
"Your little sister, Kellie, she has saved a realm, all on her own. Pure wits, and blind courage, as you might call it." Aaron was surprised.
"So, when's she coming back?" The Master sighed.
"If you let me down, I'll tell you the full story." Aaron reluctantly set the Master of the Worlds back down on his feet.
"Aaron, your sister, she has changed greatly. I will not tell you how, for you shall know, someday. But you will not see your sister for years, she is a Daughter of two Elements, she needs to stay. The war isn't over, and she is needed to help settle all conflicts. She has quite a way with negotiating, your sister. A Son or Daughter of two Elements helps greatly with resolving conflicts, so your sister is needed. Understand?" Aaron, on impulse, nodded.
"So, I'll never see her again?" From behind his hood, the Master smiled.
"I never said that." Aaron perked up.
"So, I will see her again?" The Master nodded.
"Someday." Aaron gave a sigh of relief.
Someday.
"So, how do I get home?" The Master pointed over Aaron's shoulder.
"Just go back the way you came. A.K.A, just walk behind you." Aaron nodded, and turned down the path.
"Oh, and Aaron," he turned around.
"Yah?" The Master grinned.
"I have a message from your sister. She told me to tell you," Aaron leaned in.
"Yes?" The Master smiled warmly.
"She loves you. You should be lucky, Aaron. Your sister loves you, very much."
Suddenly, Aaron was sitting up in his bed. He looked around, nope, no blue tunnel, no man in a robe, he was sitting in his dormitory.
Aaron sighed, and laid back down. He looked around, at his dorm mates.
I love you too, Kellie.
Aaron thought happily, and just as he slipped off into the realm of Dreams, knowing he wouldn't see his little sister for years, never knowing what would become of her, words drifted back to Aaron's mind.
Your sister loves you.
